Christian County State’s Attorney John McWard is an experienced prosecutor who is fighting to make our community a safer place to live, work, and raise a family.

As our current state’s attorney, McWard is making criminals pay. He’s a tough-on-crime prosecutor focused on taking career criminals off the streets while strengthening public safety despite Springfield’s soft-on-crime SAFE-T Act. To fill the gap created by the SAFE-T Act, he strategically redirected resources to continue keeping our families protected, effectively prosecuting criminals, and using innovative solutions to prevent crime from happening.
